It was in 1971 when two playoff games were first played on Christmas, including the remembered matchups between the Cowboys and Vikings, and the Dolphins against the Chiefs. With the participation of Snoop Dogg, the NFL seeks to reinforce the appeal of its Christmas schedule.Christmas Game Day has become even more attractive.
